To Julia in Russia

Look another Julia from Russia! Julia wanted a "retro" card. This was the only card I had that fit. I hope she likes it.

To Julia in Russia (Direct Swap)

Julia says that she likes "wedding postcards", so I am sending her one of the postcards we had made to announce our wedding. I hope that this is what she meant!

From Julia in Russia

From the back:

Cathedral of the Resurrection ("Our Savior-on-the-Spilled-Blood.")1883-1907

Very pretty.

From Sergey in Russia

Isn't this beautiful? It is St. Nicholas Cathedral of the Theophany in St. Petersburg, Russia. I so want to explore it.

To Kate in the Russia

A lovely little postcard for Kate in the Russia. I like the collage of photos from Minnesota.

To Ka in Russia (Direct Swap)

Ka said that she likes lighthouses, so I am sending her this postcard from Two Harbors. Rodney and I went to see this lighthouse on our honeymoon in 2008. We learned that you can spend the night in the lighthouse now. How fun would that be? We have it planned for a future trip.

To Maria in Russia (Direct Swap)

I am doing a direct swap with Maria from Russia. She sent me this lovely postcard and in return I am sending her this one of Downtown Minneapolis. Is that the 65/Central/3rd Ave bridge? Rodney and I have been debating that. I hope that Maria enjoys it.

From Maria in Russia

Wow! Isn't the Cathedral of St. Basil the Blessed in Moscow beautiful. (The back of the postcard actually says that "the Blassed", but I am thinking that they mean "the Blessed".) Maria says that it is a museum now. I so want to go! Thanks Maria!

From Ka in Russia

Today I got two postcards from Russia. Both are of beautiful churches. The first is from Ka. It is of "The Temple of the Virgin of Mercy" in Vladivostok. Isn't it a jewel of a building? Thank you Ka!

To Ksenia in Russia

My post card to Laura in the United Kingdom arrived, so now I am sending a postcard to Ksenia in Russia. Ksenia said that one of the types of postcards that she enjoys are pictures of bridges. I think that this fits the bill. I hope that she enjoys this one!
